“The Application of Biometric Technology in Airport Security Management” conducted by SusAir under Susdev Group, aims to explore and analyze the applications of biometric technology in managing airport security. Biometric technology represents one of the significant advancements in enhancing security, efficiency, and passenger experience at airports worldwide.
Biometric technology includes identification methods based on human biological characteristics such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scanning, and voice recognition. These technologies help enhance airport security through various methods.
Facial recognition systems have been deployed in many airports worldwide, enabling quick and accurate passenger identification. According to a report by the Biometric Analysis Company, the accuracy rate of facial recognition technology can reach up to 98%. For instance, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport (USA) has implemented a facial recognition system for over 85 million passengers annually, reducing wait times at security checkpoints to under 2 seconds. This not only reduces processing time but also enhances the ability to detect potential threats from passengers with criminal records or suspected terrorism.
The use of fingerprints to verify passenger identity has become more popular at major airports. For example, Dubai International Airport has implemented this technology, and statistics show that security check times using fingerprints have decreased by 40% compared to traditional methods. This not only saves time for passengers but also reduces the workload pressure on airport security staff. Heathrow Airport (UK) also uses fingerprint recognition combined with facial recognition, reducing wait times at security checkpoints by 15%.
Iris scanning technology is considered one of the most accurate biometric identification methods, almost impossible to forge. Hamad Airport in Doha has reported a reduction in identity fraud incidents due to the application of iris scanning. This technology not only helps prevent criminal activities but also creates a more secure environment for both passengers and staff. Changi Airport (Singapore) uses facial and iris recognition technology, increasing the accuracy rate to 99% and reducing processing times. This not only improves passenger experience but also enhances airport security levels.
Biometric technology is playing a crucial role in enhancing security at airports, optimizing security screening processes, and improving passenger experience. This research by SusAir under Susdev Group has clarified the specific applications and benefits of biometric technology in airport security management, affirming that this is a necessary and effective direction for modern airports. The application of biometric technology not only saves time and reduces workload pressure for security staff but also creates a safer and more reliable environment for all passengers.
